3 Sensor but only can choose 2 witch ones?
 
So i got very heavy / expensive equipment in my mustang, decide to upgrade so i bought a 2 way pager system pretty decent from what my friends have showed me on his car

and when ahead and order all 3 sensor available

only 2 can be installed..

I got Shock/ultra sonic/microwaves

Witch 2 should i hook up?
Thanks!

Microwave (proximity) sensor and shock. Also hood and trunk pins.

Crashman2k9 03-05-2010 12:46 PM

yup[ yup i got the hood and trunk pins :D
so ultra sonic sensor is useless eh? meh only paid 20$ :P

DeadlySones 03-05-2010 12:48 PM

I think thats a glass sensor no? Not positive. I'd still go with prox and which ever you choose out of the other 2. I'd think shock would be better. Seems like most thieves just hit it, if it goes off or chirps they move on. :)

Crashman2k9 03-05-2010 12:52 PM

make sense:P the proxi sensor would churp b4 they cant even hit :D let hope that enough to scare them away!

only disadvantage to a prox. sensor is false alarms. The unfortunate thing is this detects motion so if its raining the drops going down your windshield will probably set the sensor off into full panic. My advice would be to have a switch where you can turn it on or off if you decide to go with it. I have installed many of these myself but most of these sensors are more of an inconvenience, but as stated above trunk/hood pins are mandatory, another option for you is a tilt sensor.

the sensor can be deactivated via remote
hood pin and trunk pin are on the unit allready

your in business ...........

Just for the record my prox only sets false alarms when in high traffic areas. If you turn off the outside zone and only use the inside it works fine. It's best for soft tops. Mine never has false alarms in the rain. I think it's all in how you adjust it. Some brands might be better than others... :dunno:

Crashman2k9 03-05-2010 01:55 PM

yup mines can be set how big the waves are

MR2NR 03-06-2010 07:05 PM

You can use all 3 if you diode isolate two sensors so that they do not interfere with each other. Personally though, a motion sensor is a complete waste of time and almost a guaranteed way to piss you off through false alarms. A glass break sensor though.... definitely is the way to go, porcelain crystallizes a window and does not set off a impact sensor but it sure will set off a good glass break sensor.

reallly? where can i get 1 of those diodes?

my alarm came stock with shock and ultra sonic but i can swap it for microwave


i hae a chose to disable with sensor i want

can u point me to an ebay link to buy these diodes?
Thanks!

Crashman2k9 03-06-2010 08:13 PM

i have wiring for door and hood pins

i have 2 spot for any sensor,

let say i hook up the glass/motion/shock
ill puck the shock on it on circuit (sence that stock)

and use a diode to put the glass/motion

what diode do i use i usee it goes on the blue(signal) so it separate each other

Crashman2k9 03-06-2010 08:24 PM

1N4000 are theses the diodes i need to run multiple sensors?

sam.hollis 04-23-2010 06:52 PM

I would do glass and shock and you shouold be fine. The prox seems to false alot

Thats due to improper installation position and/or set too high.
